My Story

Dr. Ed Newton is the lead pastor of Community Bible Church, in San Antonio, a 27,000 member congregation, a multiple campus, missional community of multigenerational, multicultural disciple makers who seek to initiate and celebrate life change in Jesus name. Pastor Ed and his wife, Stephanie have four children in London, Lola, Liv, and Lawson. Together they seek to lead a generation of people to hear Gods voice and respond in extreme faith in obedience. Dr. Newton is an author, speaker, and a leader with an intentional burden to speak into the capital “C” church towards revival, leadership, evangelism, discipleship, leadership, missional living, and especially for the “next” generation to become a “now” generation. Pastor Ed Newton received his formal training from several institutions such as earning a Bachelor of Science in Church Ministries from Clearwater Christian College, Clearwater, Florida, a Masters in Religious Education from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Memphis, TN, a Masters in Divinity, and Doctorate of Ministry in Pulpit Communication from Trinity Theological Seminary, Newburgh Indiana.

God has uniquely gifted Ed with an ability to connect with various age groups, personally and corporately. His communication style can be summarized as “passion with content” while seeking to inspire people to be passionate, dedicated followers of Christ.
